SoFi Stadium workers vote to authorize strike ahead of World Cup over wages and immigration enforcement concerns.
UNITE HERE Local 11, representing approximately 2,000 food and beverage workers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, voted 96% to authorize a strike days before the venue hosts World Cup matches. Workers cited demands for higher wages, job protections, and guarantees against immigration enforcement presence during the tournament. Negotiations with stadium operator Legends Global and FIFA were ongoing, with a deal subsequently reached that included wage increases and a contractual right to walk off the job if federal immigration agents threaten worker safety.
